From scouring the internet for jobs and writing applications to moving cities and starting in a brand new industry, heading out into the job market after university can be a seriously daunting step. But with the right advice and a little confidence up your sleeve, soon you’ll have to fight off all the offers. With handy CV tips, and pointers such as understanding what makes positive body language, we’ve pulled together an infographic that’ll ensure you stand out from the crowd when it’s time for your interview.

The infographic definitely starts with a punchy title, and it goes on for some hard-hitting facts about what can get grads a job or cost them an interview. There are some nice instances of data visualization and iconography.

The overarching issue with the design is space; everything feels a bit crowded and could use some more breathing room to have a bigger impact. Currently, nearly everything is fighting for the viewer’s attention, but by adding more white space and implementing a greater information hierarchy, the viewer would have an easier time navigating the info.

In all I’d give this infographic a B-, mainly since it needs more breathing room.

This infographic makes use of a consistent color palette and established font choices, which is important when creating a unified aesthetic. It’s always best to make those kinds of creative choices from the beginning and hold the design to them throughout. It also includes some great stats that contribute to the overall picture.

In the Johns Hopkins survey, I’d say that the numerals within each donut chart could work within the body copy so that the percentages don’t have to be repeated. It looks like the 60% repeat is a mistake since it doesn’t really fit in with the copy (“60% working for just 60% $10.23/h.”), and the part time copy repeats the wrong percentage (26% While 50% were working part time). Be really careful that your copy and data visualization are correctly representing the stat!

Organization and flow could also use a look: it feels like the infographic puts groups of stats together without sufficient transition to explain the order or purpose of the sections. There are also several typos throughout (“What’s really important to you?” has 2 big ones), stressing the importance of proofing your copy meticulously before publishing.

In all I’d give this infographic a C since it was designed with clear intention as far as purely aesthetic choices, but doesn’t follow through in presentation of copy, story line, and statistics. Another look at the story (the foundation of the piece) would help improve it, since the framework of the design is already established!

Dissertations/Theses mark the final milestone towards achieving a much-deserved University degree. But let’s be honest, even after students have studied and completed arduous assignments for years, they tend to not be fully prepared for the depth and confusion that can arise with the dissertation task at hand. And at the same time, they all want to do well and achieve a creditable grade.

That’s why Ivory Research has prepared this dissertation-focused infographic to help students stand out from the 2:1 crowd and to achieve a 1:1 place position.

This is a great guide for students looking to improve their existing (or upcoming) dissertation. Because of the nature of the graphic — a guide for writing — it relies almost entirely on text. Ordinarily, infographics should use text as supplements to imagery, but the subject matter for this requires text explanation. I like that it’s organized into bullet points so it is still fairly quick for the viewer to get through, but it isn’t an infographic in the traditional sense.

To spruce this guide up, it would be nice to see each section featuring something a little different. They all look nearly identical with the exception of a couple of doodles or the crumpled paper in a different spot. Maybe “Analysis of Findings” could have a magnifying glass or a microscope. “Conclusion” could be the final page of the books, or even the back cover! “Bibliography/References and Citations” could be formatted as a Works Cited/Bibliography page. A little more variety will keep the viewer hooked!

In all I’d give this an A as a guide for dissertation prep, but it isn’t really an infographic in the sense of using imagery and data to tell its story — that would require an overhaul of its focus.
